THE 1947
Strictly posed for camera
EDMUND B. MARTIN
Editor
New Orleans, the old and the new, was the
inspiration for the theme of the 1947 JAMBA-LAYA.
In this year's edition of the official year-book
of Tulane University, we have tried to cap-ture
a portion of the charm and beauty of this
historic city. Those students from New Orleans
know well the gracious living and way of life that
is prevalent here. We hope that we have shown
to those students who have come to Tulane from
other cities and other lands the qualities which
have made New Orleans famous throughout the
world for its hospitality gaiety and natural
beauty.
The 1947 JAMBALAYA was officially dedi-cated
to no specific person. Unofficially, it is
dedicated to those members of the staff of this
year who have devoted their time and efforts
to bring you a pictorial record of this college
year. To these people, and to many others who
we have failed to mention, this book is respect-fully
dedicated.

THE HUILABAIOO
Roland "Swat" Swardson, out of Navy blues, wielded
the Hullabaloo whip this year. The student publication
enjoyed an era of post-war boom as applications for
staff work broke all records. Tuesday deadlines didn't
find staff-mennbers trampling fellow Student Center in-habitants
in last-minute rushes. Due to hard-hitting
Swardsonian efficiency, "Every man at his post" was the
rule of the year.
Henchmen to The Boss were Associate Editors Wiley
Wilkinson and Dennis Bryant. Bob Barnes, the Marsh-field
Kid, kept an eagle-eye out for mob efficiency.
Molls Wilma "Billie" Knight and Carol Shockey held
down the desk during wild bull sessions. Lorraine Free-
Roy Trahan and Mike Kirk leading the bulb-flashers'
parade.
Copy, copy, copy, pursuit by publicity hounds, letters
of criticism, lots of flies in the ointment, but every Friday
morn the Hulla hit the campus without fall.
Altogether a very smooth year for budding journalists,
who took time off one Saturday eve for a "Communists"
party where everyone turned up in anti-social, revolu-tionary
costume.
"Give it to me. Smiley," this year's password for en-trance
into the sanctum of Tulane's Fourth Estate, re-sulted
from a three hour staff meeting at Loew's State
one autumn eve.
Tulane newspaper world Must be Lil' Abner
man handled the society angle, Mary Lou Mossy held
sway over the Newcomb branch, while Phil Harsham took
charge of the Grammar department.
Each Tuesday of the school year, with deadline ap-proaching
by winged chariot, Sports Editor Bob Watters
battled the latest statistics on points scored, while Harry
Heintzen and the feature staff stretched fillers Into fea-ture
stories.
Newell Berry held down the editorial duties, while Phil
Slipakoff tracked down newsbeats as Assistant Campus
Editor. "Buck" Blitch tackled cartoon problems, and Bill
Beaty stood off in a corner wrestling with unknown edi-torial
problems. Vic Gold preached anarchy between
weekly glitterings.
Tulane Photo Service took care of the Brownie duties.

This naHonal fraternity, founded in 1925 at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania,
brings men of college age together in the fellowship of the scout oath and law.
The purpose of this fellowship is the gathering of a group of men who are willing
to serve both the campus and the community.
This year, as a service to the community, they sent out several of the former scouts
to local troops to act as leaders in the absence of the regular scout masters. As a
service to the campus they participated in the campus chest drive and the annual
Easter sunrise service. The campus chest has supplemented their participation in the
Easter and Christmas seals campaign.

STUDENT CENTER
COUNCIL
The Student Center Council is one of the nnost active organizations on the campus,
since it provides entertainment for the entire student body. Composed of electees
from all colleges and classes for their interest in such activities, the group has made
possible informal diversion from studies during hours before, between, and after
classes. In addition to the weekly Student Stomps, orchestras were also secured to
play at the Student Center for such occasions as the Sadie hHawkins' Day Dance and
a Valentine's Party. With the cooperation of Mrs. Chipley, the Student Center Coun-cil
has also sponsored bridge and chess tournaments. Members of the council act as
hosts, help in the decoration of the center for different occasions, and make the
Student Center a meeting place and a center of activity on the campus.

GREENBACKERS
The organization on the Green Wave campus to promote school
spirit, Greenbackers not only participated in this capacity during
the football season, but also carried it out throughout the year.
Ably led by Bobby Watters, Greenbackers assisted in card displays
which were put on by Newcomb freshmen. Also pep rallies were
held on nights before games inside and outside of McAllister
Auditorium.
The addition of housing units on the campus prevented the
usual weekly bonfires, but prior to the Louisiana State game one
was had on the Willow Street side of the auditorium. In collab-oration
with Tulane Jive Band, a last minute pep rally was held
outside of Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, after which the Tulane
student body followed the band into the stadium.
During the basketball season Greenbackers sponsored a "Meet
the Team" party in the Student Center, at which time Coach Wells
and the members of the team were introduced. At the home
games, which were played at the Coliseum Arena, this organization
aided the officials in reserving a student section.

The German Club was recently -formed
on the Tulane campus. The first meetings
were held by the German faculties of both
Tulane and Newcomb. Its express purpose
is to bring the German student and all
those interested in the German language
rn contact with German culture. More
than fifty-five students attended the first
meeting. The German Club is rapidly be-coming
a popular campus activity. Its songs
and its programs present a cheerful atmos-phere.
The presentation of the Christmas
play "Welhnach+spiel" In Dixon Hall was a
big feature of the Club this year.

TUIANE VETERANS'
ASSOCIATION
The Tulane Veterans' Association is an organization through which veterans of the
college can make their opinions heard. The T. V. A. is unaffiliated with any national
organization and is an official student activity. It provides functions for veterans,
information concerning veterans at its meetings, and takes an active part in school
politics.
In early December the organization sponsored a very successful campus-wide dance
for all veterans. Earlier in the year it held a debate among its members. The
organization has set up a committee to provide information concerning veterans and
this year it has circulated various petitions throughout the campus to further this
undertaking.

TUIANE LAW REVIEW
The Tulane Law Review, successor to the Southern Law Quarterly, is recognized in-ternationally
as one of the world's outstanding journals of civil and connparative law.
It was the first law review to be published in the state of Louisiana and is one of
the prinnary research sources for Louisiana lawyers and scholars.
The work of the Review is borne chiefly by a Student Board of Editors, composed
of junior and senior law students who have attained the highest scholastic honors in
the College. They are assisted by a facuty adviser, a board of alumni editors, a
board of advisory editors, and a staff of contributing editors.
The opportunities for free discussion of current legal problems, for scholarly re-search,
and for expository writing based upon statutory interpretation, analysis of
decision, and synthesis of doctrine are invaluable to the serious law student who
wishes to ground himself in the principles of juristic thought and expression.
The faculty guides the student efforts during the year and in addition prepares
leading articles for publication in the Review. Each volume of the Review contains
articles by a number of scholars with either national or international reputations.

The Moot Court competition is carried on at Tulane for the purpose of giving
students practical experience in research, brief writing, and court room demeanor.
The cases are prepared by the faculty and members of the Board of Advisors, and
include appellate cases for the freshmen and both appellate and trial cases for the
junior-senior competition.
Moving into the new Tllton Hall after Christmas, the Board was given spacious
quarters and a new court room, its pride and joy. Rapidly catching up on a back
log of students who had not had their freshman cases, as well as an unusually large
enrollment of new students, the Board has now regained its pre-war schedule and
methods of operation.

The principal purpose of the twen+y-five-year-old Owl Club since its Inception has
been to promote in the faculty and student body a thorough understanding of the
problems in teaching and in being taught courses of a medical curriculum. Its less
tangible efforts have been directed toward the promotion of a high standard of pro-fessional
ethics in the student body, and in maintaining Tulane in its place as one of
the country's foremost medical institutions.
The Owl Club of 1946, in addition to full pursuit of its more traditional enter-prises,
established the Tulane Medical Research Fund to be used for the maintenance
and promotion of research within the school. This year's group has continued the
work for the fund, and has also undertaken to simplify and facilitate the selection
and securing of interneships for the seniors of 1948 and of years to come.
It is composed of twenty-four senior members chosen, half by the outgoing club,
the remainder by the selectees.

The tradition of this Club on the campus extends as
far back as the I890'5 when a transmitter was set up in
the Physics building. The Club, in its present form, was
organized in 1941 by David Korn. In 1945 a group of stu-dents,
Al Buxton, Chester Lob, Arthur Glick, Jack Tallant,
John Laurent and Bernd Falk, went on the air from Stanley
Thomas hall and the post-war club was on its way. At
present the Club boasts some thirty-five members from
various colleges of the University, some holding amateur
radio licenses, others unlicensed. One of the activities is
a program of classes in Morse code and in radio theory
to help unlicensed members prepare for the tests req-uisite
to obtaining licenses.

Founded in 1936, the E. T. A. is an honorary society which reaches into the field of
knowledge by sponsoring the forum, which gives the student an opportunity for re-search
on technical papers, and into the field of entertainment by sponsoring such
activities as the Engineer's Smoker, Engineer's Day and St. Patrick's dance, the last
of which is open to the entire student body.

AMERICAN INSTITUIE OF
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS
The Tulane University Student Branch of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers supplements the formal courses of instruction with the presentation of
papers at meetings and with field trips to points of engineering interest.
Although technical in nature, the activities of the organization are not confined
to professional functions. Truck rides, picnics, and ball games have been enjoyed
in the past by this group of student members.

AMERICAN INSTITUTE
OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS
Another of the several engineering societies whose aim it is to foster one of the
branches within that field is the Tulane student chapter of the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers, established on the campus in 1938. Membership is open to all
interested in the advancement of the profession.
Lectures by prominent chemical engineers, papers prepared by the students, dis-cussions
led by faculty members, and motion pictures form the foundation for the
group's monthly meetings. Supplementing the encouragement of student interest in
the field, it further creates a means of contact between the undergraduate and the
practicing engineer.

The Young Women's Christian Association was established at Newcomb in 1901.
The "Y" meets twice monthly for open discussions, talks by outstanding personalities
and debates. This year, a series of vocational talks was presented on the subjects of
art, music, language, science, teaching, and literature. The "Y" takes an active part
in freshman orientation, presenting a program of well-rounded events to aid the
freshman In becoming acquainted with activities of the college.
"Y" traditions are the annual Christmas and Easter parties for a group of children
from a local orphanage, and the Christmas tree placed in the main hall of the
Administration Building. With the Y. M. C. A. of Tulane, it annually sponsors the
Easter Sunrise Service, held in the quadrangle of Newcomb campus.

At present a comparatively small group, the Tulane Y. M. C. A. offers a common
working ground for all young men on the campus interested in organizational practice
of Christian ideals. It offers a channel, in the forms of various projects, through which
practice of personal ideals may be directed as contribution to a common group
effort and acceptance of the responsibility involved.
Some of the projects maintained under normal functioning of the group include
sponsorship of monthly vesper services, the annual Easter Sunrise Service which it
conducts in cooperation with the Newcomb Y. W. C. A., the Christmas decorations in
front of Gibson hall, and assistance in such activities as blood drives, the sale of
Christmas Seals, and support of the annual doll and toy fund.
This year has been primarily devoted to reorganization, and rather than sponsoring
projects, the "Y" has been preoccupied in acquainting the members of its cabinet
and executive council with their duties as defined in the constitution and in presenting
to the entire membership a preview of the responsibilities involved in organizational
project work.
The spirit of its response to post-war reorganization is a promise of whole-hearted
devotion to the tasks of the future and a challenge to the incoming young men on
the Tulane campus.

The Baptist Student Union is a spiritual force on the campus, offering the student
Christian fellowship in a local church. Through its varied progrann, the BSU seeks to
deepen the spiritual life of the student, to meet his needs in a vital and practical way,
and to give him a carry-over value of church administration and participation.
Other than church fellowship, the social and religious life of the organization is
centralized in the Student Center, which is open to students every day for study,
fellowship, play, relaxation or meditation. Once a month there is a program for
the students, with an outstanding speaker, or some other special interest. There is
a social once a month for all Baptist students and friends. At specified times, there
are points of emphasis, such as pre-school retreat, Join-the-Church day, state BSU
convention, student night at Christmas, dedicated vocations week, student evan-gelistic
emphasis, summer enlistment, Ridgecrest and others. There is a bi-monthly stu-dent
publication which adds no little interest. The executive council forms the nucleus
for the work. It is a year-round program of fellowship and sharing.

THE
NAVY
AT
TUIANE
On June 7, 1946, with the need for
large numbers of naval officers no longer
existing, the war-time NROTC program
at Tulane came to an end. During the war
years, Tulane prepared for active duty
with the United States Navy and Marine
Corps thousands of officers who saw active
duty in all theaters of war. Now, with peace again reigning throughout the
world, the Navy's training program at Tulane has been reduced to a size similar
to the pre-war program.
One of fifty-two American universities chosen by the Navy for peacetime
preparation of regular and reserve officers of the Navy and Marine Corps,
Tulane offers today, through its Navy programs, opportunities for its students
who meet the requirements to prepare for a career in the naval service while
attending the university for a baccalaureate degree.
Both in war and peace, the Navy has been proud of its officers from Tulane
—
and Tulane is proud of its NROTC Unit.

COUNCIL
HEDA VON MEYSENBUG
Chairman
The stern hand of justice clannps down on any
sorority that misses a letter in the Pan-Hellenic
rushing rules when Newcomb Pan-hHellenlc Asso-ciation
conducts a board meeting. Every sorority
on the campus is a participant in the association
and is represented by two active members on the
board.
Pan-hHellenic ruled this year that rushing be
deferred until the first weeks in March in order
to rush only those girls who have a "D" or better
average. The board also set up Pan-Hellenic
Grievance committees in the dormitories to in-vestigate
cases of illegal rushing. Each year
Pan-Hellenic awards a cup to the winner of the
Sorority Campus Night skit.

The Epsilon chapter of Alpha Delta Pi staked its claim
on Newcomb campus in November of 1906, and since
then the chapter has kept Pine Street jumping with its
many social activities. The girls this year have carried
on the old tradition of southern hospitality by opening
their doors before each football game with the welcome
mat spread for one and all. They held their annual formal
in March.

Jean Lafitte, the pirate, set ablaze the coast of the
Gulf of Mexico as he sailed along its shores stealing the
gold and diamonds of the plantation owners and collecting
the hearts of the Creole belles. Since 1929, the Alpha
Sigma chapter of Beta Sigma Omicron is notorious for
collecting diamonds and stealing hearts.
Betty Berry edited the Newcomb hHandbook and held
the position of vice-president of the Newcomb Student
Body. The year's schedule for the Beta Sigma Omicron's

becoming famous for Its southern belles, Chi Omega de-cided
to join the roll call and established Rho chapter on
the campus in 1-900. The Chi Omegas are still holding up
the tradition In that respect, but they also contribute to
the college spirit with their interest in campus activities
and their full schedule of sorority banquets, formals, and
bi-monthly suppers in their rooms.
